Czechs celebrate 20 years since Velvet Revolution

// November 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blogs

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Former Czech President Vaclav Havel opened the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Velvet Revolution with a concert attended by celebrities.

Underground rocker Lou Reed, soprano Renee Fleming and folk singer Joan Baez performed to a crowd of about 500 gathered at 13th-century church in downtown Prague.

Baez performed “We Shall Overcome” in both Czech and English to massive applause by an audience that included former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who was born in Prague. Fleming sang “Rusalka” by Antonin Dvorak and “Ave Maria” by Franz Schubert, and was then joined by Reed on his song “Perfect Day.”

Video messages from President Barack Obama, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were broadcast along with greetings from rock stars Mick Jagger and Bono during the nationally televised concert. (more…)

HP, Best Buy team on Windows 7 ‘home makeover’

// October 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // Blogs

It’s one of those screaming deals, that Windows Vice President Tami Reller was referring to when she spoke with CNET News last week. The deal is set to be officially announced on Thursday, although details of the offer were noted on Best Buy’s Web site. (more…)
